Turnbull government reportedly struck deal to send refugees to Taiwan0:35

There are reports the Turnbull government has signed a new deal to send asylum seekers on Nauru to Taiwan if they need urgent medical treatment.
The move reportedly aims to stop refugees from applying to stay in Australia after being treated in local hospitals.
The agreement was reportedly signed with the nation - which is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention - late last year.
